In Towne Marina Lake Report - 4/30/18

It’s April 30th and we STILL have ice on Lake Waconia. Lake resident and naturalist Jim Gilbert of WCCO recently shared his lake ice-out record information with us (that dates back to 1940). The latest Lake Waconia ice has ever gone out on record was May 1st, which has happened 3 times (1941, 1950 and 1965). Unless something drastically changes in the next 36 hours, that record will unfortunately be broken.

We will remain closed for an interim period (even after the ice is out) while we construct our marina docks. We will update any potential store opening hours as we know more and progress with our dock building. We appreciate everyone’s patience with us, as we will be working very hard to get things set up safely for use.
